Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, mechanical repair.

Learn one of these and you’ll make good money.

While the "progressives" in Santa Fe and Albuquerque push a unicorns and rainbows future to our children, in Hobbs they will be taught what the real world has to offer. A video presentation well worth watching.

Trades classes were once part of most public high schools. Then George W. Bush implemented his disastrous “No Child Left Behind” program. NCLB did not test for the trades. And it punished any school with low NCLB scores.

So most districts eliminated their trades programs, and focused on what NCLB tested for - higher math and English skills. End result? Trades programs were eliminated, and trades students were shoved into classes they neither wanted nor needed.

George W. Bush - the worst president ever. He harmed this country in ways that will be felt for generations.
